Autism walk

The YAM Magazine Victoria Autism Walk, Vancouver Island’s largest annual autism event, will take place on the UVic campus April 15 from 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Hundreds of children, families, professionals and supporters from the community will walk or run to raise funds and awareness for the 1 in 90 children diagnosed with autism. The event will include entertainment, a kids’ zone, character visits, information booths, food and much more. All proceeds are used to fund Victoria-area programs, supports and services for children with autism and their families. For more information and to register online: www.victoriaautismwalk.com
